About this opportunity
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division intends to issue a sole source, Firm-Fixed-Price contract to Kitco Fiber Optics, Inc. for specialized fiber optic kits including one Emergency Fiber Optic Staging Kit and four Small Fiber Optics kits. This procurement falls under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1(a)(2) as "Only One Responsible Source," with the government asserting that Kitco is the only vendor capable of providing test equipment that meets the required form, fit, and function specifications for integration into existing military fiber optic installations. The solicitation is anticipated to be issued around August 30, 2025, with contract award expected approximately October 31, 2025. Interested parties may respond to demonstrate their capabilities, though this notice is not a request for competitive proposals, and the government retains sole discretion to determine whether to conduct competitive procurement. Questions should be directed to Contract Specialist Tim Kawamoto or Contracting Officer Rolanda Y. Wallace-Taylor via email, with responses due by August 28, 2025.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is being structured as a sole source award to Kitco Fiber Optics, Inc., which the government has identified as the incumbent or preferred contractor based on their unique capabilities. The contract will procure a total of five kits: one emergency staging kit and four small fiber optics kits, though specific dollar values or budget ranges are not disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. The timeline spans approximately two months from solicitation issuance to contract award, indicating a relatively expedited procurement process typical of sole source acquisitions. The procurement falls under NAICS code 335921 for Fiber Optic Cable Manufacturing and PSC code 6015 for Fiber Optic Cables, reflecting the specialized nature of the required equipment. The government's justification emphasizes that no other qualified manufacturers exist that can provide the necessary total incorporation capabilities for the intended military operating environment.
